Diamondbacks @ Cubs: Ray vs. Arrieta (Game 134)

Submitted by CTSteve on

And on the 6th day, He pitches again.

Now that’s more like what we expected from this homestand--a nice, easy win. The regulars all knocked around a rookie, and then the bench got a little work in. More of that, please. And maybe the Montero trade is looking a little better.

ARI (65-70): LHP Robbie Ray (3-10, 3.72)
CHC (76-57): RHP Jake Arrieta (17-6, 2.11)
First pitch: 1:20pmCT

So Arrieta came within one hit and a Starlin Castro of a perfect game on Sunday. In May, back when he was mortal, he had a no-decision (6 IP, 3 ER) in AZ. The D’Backs are 17-47 (.362) against him. (They are currently top in the league in runs scored.) Hill is 7-17 with a HR. Salty is 3-4.

Ray was 0-5 with a 6.00 ERA in August but pitched better in his last outing, a no-decision (5.2 IP, 1 ER) in Denver, of all places. The Cubs are 6-11 (.545) against him.

It’s nearly impossible that Arrieta will top what he did in LA, but make sure you tune in--at least till someone gets a hit.

Go Cubs!

The more I read about Arrieta, the more I suspect he is not going to be satisfied with a no hitter unless it is followed by another.

And on the 6th day, He pitches again. --- Who else would be appropriate to pitch the day after Godly?

Mike Olt still awaiting final disposition. 

The Cubs are obviously not placing him on Outright Assignment Waivers because they know he will get claimed, so they are probably waiting for best offer in a trade. 

Most likely destinations: 

1. White Sox 
2. Milwaukee
3. San Diego 
4. Cleveland  
5. Miami

I hope Olt does well, even though it's the wsox. Not because I predicted he'd be a star - I never did that. What I did see was some really good power potential - which doesn't seem to be happening much now in Iowa, and I was curious to see if he could be a regular third baseman with some serious thump. I imagine he'll get his (last?) shot with the Sox since they don't have much at third right now. It could all prove to have been much ado about nothing.

Sometimes as we have seen (often with the Cubs), the touted prospects don't work out. It was a cool thing that he came over in the Ranger's fleecing for overrated-now-suck-ass Garza. He had some bad luck in the form of injuries, and when not injured he never showed enough consistently to me to make me think he would be anything more than 25th man on the bench - made even moreso with Kris Bryant being the best Cubs rookie postion player in like 30 years. Actually the Cubs now will eventually have a decision to make with Villineuva at 3b who has a fantastic glove and is learning how to hit finally. He got pushed ahead of your guy. When al, is said and done, Olt was given opportunities and the org invested a lot of resources into the dude. He didn't respond. Jim Hendry would have kept him. TheoCorp not so much. If he does well with the Sux, good for him. He certainly has a nice arm/glove and they have need as you said. Maybe Brett Jackson can get a shot with them too.

That's one of the things I like about TheoCorp - letting go of investments that don't pan out (see Jackson, Edwin). There's a lot of interesting decisions for TheoCorp. There's that Contreras kid, too, catching and hitting like a maniac. You've got Montero who has decided to take Schwarber under his wing and teach him some catching stuff during the off season as a tutor. It's all good stuff. Things have changed on the North Side.

damn, it's nice to see wrigley packed again. it's real people in seats, not "30K tickets sold and only 20K actually in seats" (screw u scalpers). it's also nice to not hear fans of other teams cheering over the home wrigley crowd because of getting drowned out by visitors.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
